I like the sound of that. We have these badass discussions quite often, I think it's time we had a thread for the dashing rogues.

Yeah, I'm all about the spinoff threads at the moment. And this is one where Indy definitely qualifies, badass or not. Dread Pirate Roberts also. But I'm afraid that they are all out-dashed(?) by this guy. Can anyone else really compete?

Zorro = >>>>>> than that lame pirate guy whose name I forget.

Isn't Han Solo more of a 'dashing rogue' than Indy?

I dunno. Han puts on the act, but how many laydeez do we see him seducing and discarding? None. Even before he knows the Skywalker family dynamic, he's planning on standing aside for Luke like a gentleman. I reckon he's just a nice guy pretending to be a scoundrel.

So we're talking about genuine ladykilling sex appeal?

Thats tough for a guy to really define tbh. I would imagine myself finding Solo sexier than Indy. I suppose Connery's Bond is rather obvious.

There's more to roguishness than just sleeping with loads of ladies, surely? I mean, Han shot first, that makes him at least a little bit of a rogue...

Edit: oh, also: Jack Sparrow?

To me, a rogue is more about that outlaw swagger, and man, Han Solo had that in spades. I was maybe 3 the first time I saw Star Wars, and to this day I havent seen anything cooler than Han's strut as he exits the cantina after drilling Greedo through the head. Sorry about the mess indeed. The fact that he owns the coolest fucking spaceship in the history of spaceships and has a giant hairy sasquatch as his copilot only adds to the appeal.

A more recent contender just might be Charlie Hunnam as Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy. Again, he has that cocky swagger down pat, and no matter how good Nikolai Can'tspellhislastname is, I'll alsways think of this guy when I think of the perfect Jaime Lannister.

But despite everything, my heart will always belong to Jimmy McNulty

Basil Rathbone?

[dornish prince]

i agree about han. to me, mainly because he is the earliest that i can remember, he is the OG of dashing rogues. patrick jane of the mentalist fits the bill. if we are talking shear notches on the bedpost then no one compares to "the barnacle" barney stinson from HIMYM.

Johnny Depp does a good dashing rogue... I particularly liked Roux from 'Chocolat', Rochester from 'The Libertine' and of course, Jack Sparrow.

I'm not sure if I can post a link in this forum, but I loved Depp's visit, in character, to a junior school in Greenwich while filming the latest PotC flick. Google Depp school to see.

I havn't read previous pages but its gotta be Dirk Pitt. He has saved the world that many times its not funny, lives in an old airplane hanger with a collection of old cars/airplanes and has the classic ladykilling looks. He's dating a Senator who doesn't get upset with his other affairs. Classic Rogue.

Han Solo's the first one I thought of for this thread, no one can match him.

He's ok but I always like this guy ( )better.

Not only was he an western crime fighter, a Mexican outlaw, a Spanish nobleman, but...

he also had his own spaceship

but granted his sense of direction wasn't that good...

Jar Jar Binks.

I'm amazed Padme could contain herself from that smooth-talking underwater Thespian.

Malcolm Reynolds was very dashing when he chose to be.

[Soylent Brown]

Captain Blood!

A Devil-may-care philanderer if ever there was one.

[Arthmail]

Han Solo a bit more than Indy, i think.


But for me, my vote is Mark Antony in Rome. Antony

[Old Nan]

Well, Mal Reynolds was already mentioned. I prefer Brosnan's Bond, myself. And speaking of Brosnan, his Thomas Crown, maybe.

The Outrageous Okona ? Sokka from Avatar is a bit young, but he almost qualifies. I'd fuck Sokka. What about The Dude?

Still, I agree Zorro is a favorite here, if not my favorite.

Dread Pirate Roberts? Not even in the team picture. Jack Sparrow is the first one that came to mind...

Wow. Obscure second season STNG references FTW!

Obscure? The man was so outrageous, his memory should live forever in the heart of anyone who saw that episode. As it does in mine.
